Assassinations of the pirate leaders

Canon Linked from 7 articles

The assassinations of the pirate leaders was a plot by Zilastra, leader of the Riftwalkers pirate gang, to kill the leaders of the other gangs in the Slice, in 33 BBY. Zilastra baited the leaders of the other pirate gangs—the Filthy Credits, the Poisoned Blades, the Staved Skulls, and the Vile—with a scheme involving the Regal Voyager passenger line. She delivered cases containing payment to the other gangs over several months, tricking them into believing the company was bribing the pirates. Once the leaders had fallen for the ruse, Zilastra delivered a final set of cases containing baradium-357 explosives. The explosives detonated upon the cases' opening, killed the other pirate leaders.
